Michael Franks was formed in 2017 and has since risen to the top of the Salon Spy rankings in Liverpool. The reason for their success is due to a few things — excellent customer service, quality and attention to detail — but the key to their popularity and the reason they have won the recent award is the way they go about everything they do.

Michael Franks offers premium quality hair treatment and styling whilst pricing based on hair length not gender — meaning that women don’t pay more due to their gender. The staff are also trained to never assume gender and both salons ensure that the range of staff are experienced enough to be able to cater for all types of people and hair.

In addition to not discriminating based on gender, Michael Franks don’t discriminate against age when employing people — investing in the training of older stylists and enabling young people to be Senior Stylists. They are also mindful of religion and have a private room available to those who can’t show their head for religious reasons. They are disability friendly too and also offer cancer sufferers free treatments through the Hair Reborn charity.

Following the awards ceremony, Director Michael Franks said: “We’re thrilled to receive the Diversity & Inclusion Award at this fantastic ceremony. It’s nice to be recognised, although in our eyes we’re just doing what we think is right. When we set the business up, we wanted to have the right ethos at the heart of everything we do and diversity and inclusion is a key part of that.”
He continued: “We’re big on treating people right — both our staff and the customers — but that’s the way it’s supposed to be. I think the hair industry has picked up some bad habits over the years and it’s important to remember how people feel when you can’t accommodate them or charge them more than someone else with the same type of hair. It’s all about making sure the staff are educated and have the right attitude.”
